without pleasure

Henry has lost the ability to feel pleasure or happiness. Even when given all he's ever wanted, he cannot raise a smile, or even care.


that witchy ball
wanted, fought toward, dreamed of, all a green living
drops limply into one's hands
without pleasure or interest

Henry is bored / Anhedonia

From Drean Song 14

Life, friends, is boring.
...
I conclude now I have no
Inner resources, because I am heavy bored.
...
And the tranquil hills, & gin, look like a drag

Phosphorescent: A New Anhedonia

"All of the pleasures now avoiding me.

All the music now boring to me."
